The Kitchen Lounge.

Every farmers kitchen needs place
where tired laborer can drop down
for few minutes after a hard bit of
work or when overheated in summer;
yet very many homes in the country
have no such thing either in kitchen or
sitting-room, and its absence gives the
room a stiff, disagreeable look. 1t is
not necessary that lounge be boughten
or very nicely made, especially if it
stands in corner. | have seen very
comfortable ones made with simple
board and four legs, on which was a
thick straw mattress, made with
waist and filled high and covered with
pretty furniture or other calico. At
the corner end and against the wall
were two pillows of hens feathers,
also covered with the print. But when
to it is added a sloping back and ends
that are stuffed with straw or hay and
tackled over with old thick comforta-
bles, then covered, it makes nice
place for the tired mother or sick child
as well. OF course it requires a frill
or curtain reaching nearly to the floor.
This can be laid in plaids four inches
apart and just wide enough not to
hang straight or very full, and can be
tackled on the frame far enough up not
to show the wood when the sitter leaves
the lounge. OF all comforts in house,
place to rest in that is always ready is
the most desirable for the weary. This
lounge takes only ten yards of print,
and it lasts for years.

Neck-Wear.

\ dainty addition to the dress for
evening wear is made from velvet and
China silk, or crepe, or from the latter
alone. Cut band an inch and half
deep to fit the neck, using a stiff
material for the foundation. Cut a
triangular-shaped piece, coming to a
point at the waist and about eight
inches wide at the top, where it must
fit into the band or collar. The cover
ing is arranged on this in pleats. A
very pretty one is made of white silk
and olive velv,t. A fold of white silk
about one-third of the depth of the
band is placed around the top. The
rest is composed of a single fold of
the velvet. The right half of the
pointed piece is made of narrow
pleats laid on diagonally; the left is
formed of velvet to simulate the lapel
of the coat. The effect is very dressy,
and one can be made for almost moth
ing from bit of velvet and an old
white China silk handkerchief. Another
is made of lavender silk. A piece an
inch wide runs down the middle and
narrow ones on either side are placed
up and down. Studs are simulated
with white pearl beads. These little
articles sell for from S4 upwards, but
can be made for much less, even if new
material be purchased, If of white
lace and black velvet and worn over
black silk the effect is very pleasing
and quite redeeming to shabby dress.

Two Kinds of Flour.

The difference between the patent
process and the old-process methods of
grinding the wheat into flour is often a
matter of question with housekeepers.
There can be no doubt that the best
flour for every family in the land is the
cheapest. The best grade of flour
made by the patent roller-process in
vented by HoXall, is now the best flour
for general use in the family. 1t makes
the sweetest, lightest bread and rolls
and is always best in all processes of
cooking where yeast is used. 1t does
not, however, make as delicate pastry
and cake as the old-process flour and if
a great deal of pastry and cake is made
in the family it is wise to keep a barrel
of old-process flour on hand for this
purpose. 1t is extremely difficult to get
genuine old-process flour in the cities.
We have heard members of the flour
exchange declare there was no old
process flour in the market and practi-
cally it forms no feature in the market.
1t is always used, however, by fancy
cake bakers and French pastry-cooks,
who probably order it specially for their
own use. 1t is customary for ordinary
grocers in the cities to keep inferior
grades of patent-process flour and dis
pose of them as old-process or st. Louis
flour. The difference between genu-
inc pastry or old-process and new
process or bread flour is easily percepti-
BILE to an expert bread-maker. The
new-process flour is finer, lighter, more
powdery; the old-process is more granu-
lar and keeps its shape when pressed in
the palm of the hand. There is very
little difference in the price of the best
grades of wheat ground by either pro-
cess. BY the patent-process the spring
wheat, which was formerly considered
of little value, is ground into finer,
sweeter flour than can be the winter
wheat, though both are now ground
by patent roller. Old-process flour of
the best grade can only be made of
winter wheat. -Triblne.

LincoIn,s Gcttysburg Speech.

The following is President Lincoln's
speech delivered at Gettysburg Novem-
Der 10Th. 1868 " Fourscore and seven
years ago our fathers brought forth
upon this continent new nation, con-
ceived in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created
equal Now we are engaged in great
civil war, testing whether that nation,
or any nation, so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure. We are met on
a great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate portion of that
field as final resting-place for those
who here gave their lives that the ma
ton might live. 1t is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this. But
in a large sense we cannot dedicate,
we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have con-
secrated it far above our power to add
or detract The world will little note,
nor long remember, what we say here,
but it can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us, the living, rather to
be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have
thus far nobly carried on. 1t is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us; that from
these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause to which they
here gave the last full measure of devo-
ton; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain,
that this nation, under God, shall have
anew birth of freedom, and that gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people shall not perish from
the earth"

to the most rapid and heavy cannonad-
ing of the whole war; some say it was
the heaviest of which history gives any
account. The explosions followed in
such rapid succession that they became
a continuous roar. 1t was more than
deafening. The air seemed to lose,
under this beating and torture, its or
binary capabilities of conveying sound,
and became stagnant and paralyzed, so
to speak. The events occurring about
us became a grand pantomime, which
our eyes could see indeed, but in which
our sense of hearing took no part. An
ammunition wagon rumbled heavily
along the stone-paved pike. A mounted
courier galloped past, the iron of his
horses hoofs striking fire on the pave
ment, But to us they were silent pass
ers. The flash of iron and stone gave
no audible sound that reached our ears.
Our brains were filed with that terrible
roar which we seemed to feel rather
than hear. A comrade has since told
me that he stood within twenty-five
yards of battery at that time, but did
not know when it was fired unless he
was looking at it.
" AT last, after an hour or more of
this terrible cannonading, it began to
decrease, and in its place there came
the sound of fresh musketry firing.
Then we knew that another charge was
being made on our lines, and when the
cannonading had almost ceased there
came to us again that sound which had
grown familiar the day before. That
long, fierce, screaming yell, nearer
than it was yesterday, and louder ii
seemed. The cannonading ceased, the
roar of the muskets increased, and
finally lessened and died away. And
when the artillery again broke forth il
was accompanied by cheer after cheer
and we knew that the charge was re-
pulsed. 1t was not until long after that
we learned the full particulars of this
terrible charge, which has passed into
history as the turning-point of the whole
war. 1t is the scene which is depicted
in the famous cyclorama which is being
exhibited in some of the large cities"

Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is there
fore singular that those afflicted with this fearful
disease should not make it the object of their lives
to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies con-
cocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowledge
have weakened the confidence of the great ority
of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They be
come resigned TO life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful paatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must he met at
every stage and combated with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose the
organs of hearing of seeing and of tasting affected
to he useless the uvula elongated, the throat
so infamed and irrtated to produce a constant
and distressing cough.

Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most oath-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and consti
tutonal. Instant in relieving, permanent in curing,

4 Drummer BOY at Gettysburg.

a soldier who was drummer-boy at
Gettysburg writes of what he saw there
as follows;
On the I'd of July, while we were
being hurried forward with all speed,
an unwelcome rumor spread along the
ranks that great battle had been
fought the day before near a town
called Gettysburg; that our army had
been badly repulsed and General Rey-
nolds killed. We learned soon that it
was only the beginning of great bat
tie that had been fought on the 1st of
July. AS we neared the field we began
to meet stragglers from the front. |
well remember the first wounded man
who passed us. His hand and arm
were covered with blood, and his face
and every motion showed fatigue and
suffering. We looked from one to
another with serious faces which eX-
pressed what we all felt, but no one
put in words-that we now realized that
we were indeed approaching the horror
of a real battle. Testing ceased; q
strange silence fell upon the marching
column, and we trudged on, less in
fear of personal danger than dread Of

Chip-Baskets.

S. NJ. Palmer has the following to say

choose-with the hoops driven down
when the key has thoroughly dried by
the kitchen stove and well nailed to
keep them in place. Then, with the
bail of pail that has given out in
serted near the top in couple of gimlet-
holes you have an exceedingly handy
receptacle for chips, from which you
can pour them into the stove without
making a great muss for the good wife
to clean up" That makes very good
one, but a common coal-hod makes the
best. Another good one for small
aifair-to put a few in the stove-may

What delightful little home you
haveW said | to a newly-married
couple of my acquaintance. " There
seems to be nothing lacking to perfect
your happiness" " Yes, there is"
said the little wife. " We want grand
mother. never had one myself and l
did hope to marry a man with one, but
Fred is just as destitute as am" @ But
why do you pine for grandmother"
" Because | think a grandmother is the
loveiest thing you can have in a house,
Just imagine darling old lady sitting
knitting by our fire in an armchair,
with screen to keep the draft off, and
Fred reading to her in the evening and
me telling her all my housekeeping
troubles (when Fred is not by to listen),
and getting her blessed old-fashioned
